How long will gastric polyps become cancerous?

Inflammatory polyps usually do not become cancerous after standardized treatment. If adenomatous polyps do not receive treatment, they may become cancerous after about 20-30 years.

Gastric polyps refer to benign raised lesions protruding from the surface of gastric mucosa. The etiology is not clear, and may be related to Helicobacter pylori infection, drug factors, bile reflux and other factors. Most patients can be cured without cancer in time. If the patient is adenomatous polyps and does not receive timely treatment, the disease may continue to develop in about 20-30 years.

Good living habits should be maintained in daily life, and active treatment should be taken to prevent cancer.
